Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection of the mouse trigeminal ganglia and the brain stem is associated with demyelination of axons in the central part of the trigeminal root and inflammatory cell infiltration and perivascular demyelination in the brain stem. Cyclophosphamide (CPA) treatment prior to or soon after HSV inoculation caused increased axonal spread of infective virus from the peripheral site of inoculation, more widespread and severe demyelination and increased mortality, suggesting that by CPA the virus invasion of the CNS was facilitated. A direct cytocidal effect of HSV on myelinating cells seemed one plausible explanation for the demyelination. Influence on demyelination at late stages of infection by cytotoxic immune reactions are not excluded by the results reported but seemed not to dominate the picture. Schwann cells from the peripheral part of the nerve root invaded demyelinated areas in the brain stem and remyelinated the axons.
